The intensity of radiation emitted by the sun has its maximum value at a wavelength of $510\;nm$ and that emitted by the north star has the maximum value at $350\;nm$. If these stars behave like black bodies,then the ratio of the surface temperature of the sun and north star is

The wavelength of maximum energy,released during an atomic explosion,was $2.93 \times 10^{-10} \ m$. Given that the Wien's constant is $2.93 \times 10^{-3} \ m \ K$,the maximum temperature attained must be of the order of
